The moment I first hit the Kmicic Coolfon 24", I knew it was something special. This ride is a perfect blend of subtle elegance and raw, organic character.
Its soft playing feel makes every note flow naturally, while the pleasant, deep, washy undertone wraps the sound in a warm cloud. The ping? Incredibly complex and dark, leaving plenty of space in the mix without being overly sharp. And if you’re in the mood for some stronger accents, this ride surprisingly handles crash-riding very well, adding a raw expressive quality to your playing.
The only trade-off? The bell could be more aggressive, but that's a natural characteristic of such large, thin, and dark rides. On the flip side, this is exactly what gives it its unique and distinctive personality.
The Coolfon 24" is a ride that never overpowers, yet offers immense expressive potential. Whether you're playing delicate jazz phrases or creating atmospheric, expansive textures in more experimental styles, this cymbal delivers.
Is this the ride you've been searching for? Maybe it’s the final piece of your drumming puzzle? 🥁🔥
